Be it known that I, WILLIAM DAY, ofMorristown, in the county of Morris,and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Cultivator;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art tc makeand use-the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, in which Figure 1 represents alongitudinal vertical section of my improved cultivator.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new instrument for tilling the groundbetween rows of corn, potatoes, strawberries, onions, or any othersuitable plants, and consists in attaching the teeth to bars or headsthat are adjustable on and removable from the longitudinal bars of thecultivator-flame, for the purpose ofallowingthe said heads to beadjusted any desired distance apart,

and to allow any desired number of such heads to be put on, in order tohave a suitable number of teeth or shovels on the cultivator.

The same can, therefore, be adapted to anysuitable kind of work to bedone.

A, in the drawing, represents the front axle of my improved cultivator.

It issecured to two longitudinal bars, B B, that may extend backward, toform the handles a, as shown. On the ends of the axle are hung-thewheels 0. The bars B are, in front, connected by a cross-bar,

D, from which an arm, 1), projects upward, said arm being well braced,as shown..

E isthe Whittle-tree, pivoted, by a pin, 0, to the upper end of the armI). Y

The whiflie-tree is thus considerably higher than the axle A.

F F are cross heads,which are grooved or perforated,

so that they can slide on the longitudinal bars B, to

which they can be fastened, in any position, by means of bolts (1, ortheirequivalents.

These cross-heads can thus be adjusted any desired distance apart, orcan be entirely taken off, orany number of them put on.

ment would be converted into a riding cultivator.

I claim as new, auddesire to secure by Letters Pateut I,

The cross-heads F F, for holding the cultivatingtools, whenarrangedadiustably on aud-removable fi'om the longitudinal bars B B, substantiallyas and for the purpose herein shown and described.
